WordPress & Web.com

Has anyone ever installed WordPress on a Web.com hosted domain before? If so, did you have any issues and how did you overcome them?

When I ran the install, I got to the final step and logged in then I received the following error, “Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Exception’ with message ‘Invalid controller specified (preview)’ in /home/cluster1/data/p/u/a753232/inc/Zend/Controller/Dispatcher/Standard.php:241 Stack trace: #0 /home/cluster1/data/p/u/a753232/inc/Zend/Controller/Front.php(934): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http)) #1 /home/cluster1/data/p/u/a753232/html/app/bootstrap.php(17): Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch() #2 /home/cluster1/data/p/u/a753232/html/index.php(2): require(‘/home/cluster1/…’) #3 {main} thrown in /home/cluster1/data/p/u/a753232/inc/Zend/Controller/Dispatcher/Standard.php on line 241”

Yes. I have installed multiple WordPress sites over the past year. As far as I can tell, the only thing that is different in this is case is the host.

Does anyone have any experience installing WP through Web.com? I’m beginning to wonder if it just won’t work. Maybe they don’t support Apache rewrite rules? I’ve even tried installing older versions but I get the exact same weird error message about the Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Exception.

Ok I figured it out. The client’s server had some bootstrap re-write stuff that was interfering with the index.php file in WordPress. A little re-write in a .htaccess file in the main WP folder fixed the problem.
